Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks
Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks are a delicious appetizer made by coating strips of mozzarella cheese in breadcrumbs and then deep-frying them until crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside. They are often served with marinara sauce for dipping and are a popular snack or starter at restaurants and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 package mozzarella cheese sticks (about 12 sticks)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Cut the mozzarella cheese sticks in half to make 24 shorter sticks.
- In three separate bowls, place the flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and combine breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and oregano in the third.
- Dip each mozzarella stick first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Make sure each stick is well coated.
- Place the coated cheese sticks on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
- Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the mozzarella sticks in batches for about 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy. Be careful not to overcrowd the fryer.
- Remove the fried cheese sticks with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the Fried Mozzarella Cheese Sticks hot with marinara sauce for dipping.
- Enjoy!
